PostgreSQL used fsync incorrectly for 20 years

"We don't support running Postgres on NFS" isn't the same thing as "fuck you Intel ACPI team; you're dumber than a chimpanzee". Equating disagreement and criticism with Linus-isms is why the relationship between users and developers is such a mess to begin with. Being a maintainer requires you to say "no" sometimes, but it doesn't require you to be a jerk.

No, it's worse.

Linus was trying to make things work, with profanity. Postgres couldn't be bothered.

Sure, performative profanity isn't everyone's cup of tea, but milquetoast passive-aggressive dismissals of people like OP who ARE TOTALLY RIGHT aren't actually nice.

Please cite which parts of the thread you're referring to. Again, several people +1'd the idea, and reviewed the code.
